Hi Doreen, looking at old queries and see the baptism as you describe on the 2nd May 1852, parish records for the area baptisms only commence in 1848 and marriages in 1853 see https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0623 so we may miss some years of children. The only other record I see is a Patrick born 6th Feb 1856 but better addesss, Tearneerin, Kilmacduagh (Gort) so you have a townland,
see https://irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/buildings-databa… The church was too late for the first child.
There are a number of private Galway Genealogy Facebook pages if you wanted to join and see if anyone there is tracing your family also.
Good Luck
Pat
